MattHOST
On that Blu-ray disc for supplements, there are several really excellent and really informative supplemental features.
MattHOST
First one is a video conversation between the director, Joachim Trier, and another filmmaker, Mike Mills, who directed this.
MattHOST
several films including Thumbsucker, and they actually are friends outside of this interview.
MattHOST
They struck up a friendship, according to this interview, it sounds like, from when Mike Mills was showing the film Thumbsucker at a film festival in Oslo, Norway, which is where Joachim Trier is based.
MattHOST
And a young, or I guess a little bit older.
MattHOST
It sounded like they were similar age, but Joachim might be a little bit older than Mike Mills.
MattHOST
But, you know, this is how they originally met.
MattHOST
And then Mike Mills hilariously doesn't actually remember this.

Kyle KrauseHOST
So that brings us to the topic at hand today.
Kyle KrauseHOST
didn't really give me any guidelines on what to do for this he just said you can play music keep it like you can do it 10 minutes to a half hour whatever so a topic that i always enjoyed is samples in music specifically movie samples so i figured i'd do like a radical research style thing play some clips from movies I heard a quote the other night, I was watching the movie Come On, Come On by Mike Mills, and Joaquin Phoenix said something like, he was a sound recorder in the film, and he was saying, it's taking something but now and making it immortal.
Kyle KrauseHOST
So that's what we're doing here today.
Kyle KrauseHOST
We're taking this incredibly specific thing that I like, and maybe only I enjoy it, but we're going to put it on tape for others to get through.
Alanis PercocetHOST
It means nothing else than dating apps.
Alanis PercocetHOST
But yes, I have become a baby person, and I recently saw the new Mike Mills movie, Come On, Come On, with Joaquin Phoenix, and had no expectations other than it was a Mike Mills movie, and I love Mike Mills.
Alanis PercocetHOST
He made Beginners, 20th Century Women.
Alanis PercocetHOST
